01:52WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? I'VE BEEN WORIED STILL.
01:54I had to change wheels three times and take a 40-mile detour.
01:59The road's worse.
02:01Terrible.
02:02I don't think I'm going to be able to get through much longer.
02:05Did you get my jeans?
02:06Did you get Susan's jeans?
02:08I got a dozen pairs, so I hope you stop growing.
02:11Is David asleep?
02:13Of course he's not.
02:15Good night, Dad.
02:17And you close your eyes.
02:19My fault.
02:21Pleasant dreams, son.
02:22Good night, Uncle Bill.
02:24Good night, Alice.
02:26And it's time you were asleep, so you can put that candle out.
02:30Sorry, Mummy.
02:34How did you know it was on?
02:36I guessed.
02:38Supper's ready, Bill.
02:40Good pickings.
02:41Good pickings.
02:42Yeah.
02:43It was a good trip from a store's point of view.
02:44I got nearly everything we wanted.
02:45Oh, including the new braille books.
02:46Good.
02:47How's London looking, Bill?
02:48Yeah, it's greener and greener.
02:49I suppose the parks and gardens have all gone wild.
02:50Mm.
02:51They've taken over some of the streets.
02:52Must be you, Harry.
02:53It is.
02:54Are there any signs of life?
02:55A few cats and dogs.
02:56Trippets, of course.
02:57I'm pretty certain other people go raiding there from time to time.
02:58There's indications of that.
02:59But I didn't actually see anybody.
03:00I didn't see anybody.
03:01I didn't see anybody.
03:02I didn't see anybody.
03:03I didn't see anybody.
03:04I didn't see anybody.
03:05Why?
03:06I was happily cruising down Tottenham Court Road and a four storey building collapsed
03:24behind me.
03:25Oh, my God.
03:26It must have been ready to go and the vibration of the land over there.
03:32It must have been ready to go and the vibration of the Land Rover did the rest.
03:36I think from now on it'll have to be smaller towns.
03:39We leave the Land Rover outside and get what we need on a hand barrow.
03:42Did you find another flamethrower?
03:43Yes, I got two. Not much of the fuel though. Not much of that anywhere.
03:49What was the terrific count this morning?
03:52Over a thousand.
03:54But it's only ten days since you wiped them all out.
03:57Did you see many between here and London?
03:59They're not in these numbers anywhere else.
04:02Are you suggesting we move?
04:03No, I didn't say that.
04:04You've got a good place here. It's a place we know.
04:06You need to know a place when you can't see.
04:08You've built a good fence. They're on the outside. We're on the inn.
04:11And if you burn them off every so often there's no real problem, is there?
04:14No. No, I shouldn't think so.
04:32No. No. No, I shouldn't think so.
04:33No too late.
04:36Oh, my God.
05:06Joe? They're all around the house. They've broken through the fence. David!
05:11Wait!
05:16Wait!
05:19Stay there! Don't move!
05:36We won.
05:49Yeah.
05:50Are you sure this is safe?
06:08I doubt if trippers can walk on shingle.
06:11If they could, they'd make a hell of a noise.
06:19It's so marvellous to get out of the compound.
06:22Oh, look at the gulls!
06:30To watch them, you could almost think nothing had ever happened.
06:34No more than this year.
06:36I'm glad about that.
06:40Are our chances getting better?
06:41If it weren't for the trivids, I'd say we had a very good chance.
06:48There hasn't been a single break-in since we electrified the fence.
06:53If we could keep the generator running all the time, the electric fence would be wonderful.
06:57But you know the problem.
06:59We can't get enough fuel.
07:01I thought we found the answer to that.
07:04Just turn it on for a few minutes at a different time each day.
07:07Susan says they'll work it out.
07:11She says they can hear the generator.
07:16Sometimes I think they do have intelligence.
07:20They know their purpose is to get us.
07:23And sooner or later they will.
07:25No!
07:26Look, we're going to beat them.
07:27We've got to.
07:29I don't want our children living on a human reservation,
07:32spending all their time just trying to keep the trivids out.
07:35Oh, God, I'm sorry.
07:37Here I am being depressing when it's the first time we've been able to pause
07:43in the business of keeping alive.
07:45But I am alive.
07:48More than I've ever been.
07:52And I'm happy at this.
07:54What are we going to tell the children?
08:08What are we going to tell the children?
08:22Sooner or later they're going to want to know why all this has happened.
08:29Do we tell them that the world was wonderfully clever,
08:33but so very wicked it had to be destroyed?
08:38Or do we tell them it destroyed itself by accident?
08:40We tell them the truth.
08:47We destroyed it.
08:51We created the trivids, we know that.
08:53We didn't create the comet.
08:57Was it the comet?
08:58Do you know how many satellites were going down up there?
09:08How many weapons?
09:10Or what was in the weapons?
09:14They never told us.
09:16They never asked us.
09:17I suppose one of these weapons had been specially constructed
09:23to emit a radiation that our eyes couldn't stand.
09:28Something that would burn out the optic nerve.
09:30Something like that couldn't blind the whole world.
09:33Suppose there was an accident.
09:36This weapon would be meant to operate at very low level
09:39so that it only blinded the people they wanted to blind.
09:41But after the accident,
09:43it went off so far off that
09:45anyone on earth could receive direct radiation from it.
09:50What about the mysterious disease?
09:53Where did that come from?
09:54We were walking on a tightrope for a hell of a long time.
10:03Sooner or later, the food had to sleep.
10:09Well, if that's right,
10:11it means our children can't make a worse mess of it than we did.
10:17And that's cheering for them.
10:21Yes, it is.
10:24Oh, my God.
10:42The farm.
10:54What's going on?
10:59I had to burn it to civil war.
11:06Jack?
11:08Hello, Bill!
11:09Jack!
11:09My God, I thought you were dead!
11:11Who, me?
11:12Not yet.
11:13Joe, this is Jack.
11:14Jack Coker.
11:15We had met, you know.
11:16I was his prisoner.
11:17I'm afraid it's a little late for me to apologise.
11:19It's great to see you.
11:20Do you know it's six years since we've seen another human being?
11:24Jack, sit down.
11:25Tell me what happened to you.
11:27I went back to Tinsham to look for you.
11:29The disease hit the place.
11:31Yes, I know.
11:32I found Miss Durrant's body.
11:33Yes, she stayed behind to nurse the sick.
11:36I admired her courage,
11:37but those who can survive have got to,
11:38I took the healthy ones away.
11:40Well, so where are you now?
11:41Where does the helicopter come from?
11:43Did you know we were here?
11:44Well, I knew where to look from what Bill had said.
11:47We've ended up on the Isle of Wight,
11:48and that's the third helicopter I've had.
11:50I smashed the other two up.
11:52Well, you try learning to fly from a book.
11:56We're gradually getting things organised over there now.
11:59And, of course, an island is the only place
12:00to defend yourself against triffids.
12:02You mean there are no triffids there?
12:04Oh, they were there.
12:06We moved into a large house.
12:08We congregated round the walls in thousands.
12:10We wiped the lot out with flamethrowers.
12:11Another lot came.
12:12We wiped them out.
12:13We must have wiped out 50,000 at least.
12:16Then, when they didn't come to the walls anymore,
12:18we hunted them down and destroyed them all.
12:21The seeds still blow across, of course,
12:24but we have a great hunt for those every spring,
12:26and we settle for them right away.
12:27That's wonderful.
12:28But what about people?
12:30Are there other inhabited places left?
12:31Yes.
12:32I've come across several since I've been flying the helicopter.
12:35I've always landed and asked if they wanted to join us.
12:37Some have, some haven't.
12:38Those who don't want to be governed anymore.
12:40There's quite a large group over at Brighton who shot at the helicopter.
12:43Didn't want to know at all, so I left them to stew.
12:47There's several hundred of us over there now,
12:49who can see, I mean, and a good few blind as well.
12:52What we need is you.
12:56Me?
12:56We can keep the Triffids away from the island,
13:00but that's not enough.
13:02We've got to find a selective killer to finish them for good.
13:05That means research and an expert to lead it.
13:07You were a biologist on a Triffid farm.
13:10We can give you facilities.
13:11We can give you help.
13:13We need your experience and skill.
13:15Are you interested?
13:17Yes, very.
13:18Good.
13:19If Bill goes, I suppose we all go.
13:21Oh, of course.
13:22One thing I should make clear, though,
13:24those of us over there have all agreed,
13:26we're not out to reconstruct the world as it was.
13:30We want to build something new, better.
13:33Well, some people don't agree with that.
13:35They want to keep a lot of the bad old features.
13:37If anybody doesn't like us or we don't like them,
13:40we ask them to move somewhere else.
13:42Under the circumstances,
13:43somewhere else sounds like a pretty poor offer.
13:45I don't mean we throw them back to the Triffids.
13:49One group did move to the Channel Islands
13:51and I believe they're doing very well there, too.
13:54Anyway,
13:55the best way to learn about us
13:58is to come and find out for yourselves.
13:59I'm sure we will take to each other,
14:01but even if we don't,
14:03I think you'll find that the Channel Islands
14:05is a better place than this a few years from now.
14:07Isn't it what we've been waiting for?
14:30I know.
14:33We must beat the Triffids.
14:34We can't do it here.
14:35We must go.
14:38Bill,
14:39can't we have one more summer here?
14:42One more summer without any worry
14:43because we know that at the end of it
14:45we've got somewhere to go to.
14:46One marvellous summer.
14:49I suggest
14:50we go to first day of autumn.
14:53We all live in the yellow summery,
15:11the yellow summery,
15:13the yellow summery,
15:15and the friends are all aboard.
15:18We'll be right back and see you guys.
15:22We'll be right back and see you guys next week.
15:23We'll be right back and see you guys next week.
15:28So, let's go.
15:59My name's Torrance. I'm Commander South East Region.
16:03That means that I'm Chief Executive Officer of the Emergency Council for the South East Region of Britain.
16:10As such, it happens to be one of my responsibilities to supervise the distribution and allocation of personnel.
16:17I'm sorry, but I've never heard of this council.
16:20Possibly. We were equally ignorant of the existence of your group until we saw your fire yesterday.
16:25When such a group is discovered, it's my job to investigate it and make the necessary adjustments.
16:31Now, it's a very good place you've taken over here.
16:33It belongs to Mr. Brent, though.
16:35Yes, well, we can leave Mr. Brent out of it.
16:37He's only here now because you made it possible for him to be here.
16:40The state of society which gave sanction to his ownership no longer exists, added to which Mr. Brent is not cited and cannot in any cause be considered competent to hold authority.
16:51Now, there are seven of you here. All cited except these two. Is that correct?
16:53Yes.
16:54Yes, well, that's quite disproportionate, I'm afraid. We have to be realistic these days.
17:06I'd better put you in the picture. Regional headquarters are situated in Brighton.
17:12We managed to quarantine off part of the town, so we survived the sickness and we had plenty of stores.
17:16And later on, we conveyed them from other places.
17:18But the roads are getting too bad for lorries now, and they haven't gone too far.
17:22So, we've got to disperse and live off the land.
17:26Now, to do this, we've got to break into smaller units.
17:29The standard unit has been fixed at one-sided person to ten blind, plus children, of course.
17:34We shall allocate you 18 more blind persons, making 20 with the two you have here.
17:3820? But this land won't support 20 people. We've got enough of a job just trying to feed ourselves.
17:44It's perfectly possible.
17:45And I'm offering you command of the double unit we shall install here.
17:49Quite frankly, if you don't take it, we shall get someone else in. We can't afford to waste time.
17:52But just look at the place. It can't be done.
17:55It can be done.
17:57Of course, you'll have to lower your standards a bit.
18:00For the first six or seven years, it'll be hard work for you.
18:04But after that, you'll gradually be able to relax until you're simply supervising.
18:09You'll be head of a clan that's working for you, and you'll have an inheritance to hand on to your sons.
18:14Do I understand that you're offering to make me a kind of feudal lord?
18:24That's a very good parallel in many ways.
18:27It's the obvious social and economic structure for the state of things we're facing now.
18:31Yes.
18:33I don't quite see perhaps you could explain where you and your council stand.
18:38Supreme authority is vested in the council.
18:41It will rule.
18:42It will also control the armed forces.
18:46Armed forces?
18:46And then, of course, there's the rest of the world to consider.
18:50Everywhere must be in the same sort of chaos.
18:53Clearly, it's our national duty to get back on our feet as soon as possible and assume a dominant role.
18:58Discourage any aggressors from organising against us.
19:00Oh, great God almighty.
19:02We lived through all this and he wants to start a war.
19:04The word war is an unjustifiable exaggeration.
19:07It will simply be a matter of pacifying and administering the tribes that have reverted to primitive lawlessness.
19:12Yes.
19:12Now, to come back to the matter of allocation, Mr. Mason, you have three sighted adults here.
19:22Your 20 blind people will only rate two.
19:25The girl can come to headquarters with us.
19:28We shall find suitable work for her until she's old enough to take charge of a unit herself.
19:32Er, my wife and I, we regard Susan as our daughter.
19:39I'm sorry, those are the regulations.
19:40I am empowered to enforce them.
19:44We should, of course, require guarantees and undertakings as to Susan's future.
19:48Naturally, Mrs. Mason.
19:50We shall offer you all possible assurances.
19:53I, er, I trust you'll be our guests for tonight.
19:58Well, give us a chance to get to know each other a bit better, eh?
20:03You're very kind.
20:04Susan, they're not going to take you anywhere.
20:20Right after the treat we've planned for them tonight.
20:22You know, if you didn't order this in a London restaurant, you'd have fainted when you got the bill.
20:35Wonderful stuff.
20:37I, er, I liberated it.
20:39Well, let's, er, liberate another.
20:41No, no, you can't take all your best, it's not fair.
20:44Ah, nonsense, you can't take it with you.
20:46And if you can, you're not going to.
20:47I'll, er, I'll just pop into the cellar, get another one.
20:51You must try some of my meat later on.
20:54It's guaranteed to fell an ox.
20:56It's guaranteed to fell an ox.
21:14It's for sure.
21:15It's for sure.
21:16It's for sure.
21:17But if you can see, you have a wish.
21:20It's like a bill.
21:21It's like a bill.
21:22It's like a bill.
21:23It's like a bill.
21:24It's an anis.
21:34Oh look, let me have a serum.
21:36Fell an ox.
21:38Fell a whole load of bloomin' elephants.
21:40Now, what was I saying?
21:43God, I've forgotten again.
21:49I've heard that we've had such an evening since we came here.
21:52Wonderful evening, wonderful.
21:54I tell you, I shall sleep like a baby tonight.
22:22I'm sorry.
22:23I have a happy lunch.
22:24How did you get into the air?
22:25I had a happy nation.
22:27I had a happy day and I would have had two.
22:29Well, I did see you already in the air.
22:30I already had two nights.
22:31I was not here.
22:32I did see you soon.
22:33I had to get to the air.
22:34What if I use the air?
22:35You're gonna be more or less for a short-term.
22:36I was just about to get to the air up.
22:37I'm not sure.
22:38You knew how to catch up.
22:39I lost your halls.
22:40I don't know.
22:41I've never heard you.
22:42I don't know.
22:43I don't know how to get to life.
22:44I got to get to life.
22:45I'm sorry.
22:46I got to get to life.
22:47I was just about to end death daran.
23:48Everybody keep down low.
24:33Amazing what honey will do.
